Mrs. Bowser waited three minutes,

Why didn't Mr, Bowser come?
Had he gone on a fishing excursion

at sea? He might have gone up in a
dying machine and taken a drop. He
might have gone out into the country

Now he will have to appear in court

it will do any hurt to keep him in the

out you must bring the deed of your

“Rut I can't do that,” answered Mrs,
Bowser. “Mr. Bowser has the deed in

“Then can you ralse two hundred

“1 fear not, us we have got but $0

“And Mr. Bowser hasn't got but $10

First Practical Reaper.
Cyrus H. McCormick made the first
successful reaper. He built It as a
hoy without his father’s knowing it
and tried It out one fall. It was not
entirely a success, but he made some’
changes and tried it again. Finally
in 1831 he made his first successful
reaper, says Farm and Fireside, He
kept on making Improvements and
in 1834 had a machine good enough
to patent. He offered them for sale
for $30 aplece, but no one would
buy. Finally In 1838 he Invited a
lot of farmers to see it work. It
cut two acres an hour. That was
really wonderful In those days, but
still no one would buy it. The next
year, 1840, a man at Egypt, Va,
bought the first machine and pald $30
for it. It werked, and faith in the
new invention began to spread,
